eframe_template VS react-native-windows

Good question. One of my dependencies is egui, which can be built by pulling down eframe_template. Trying it just now on clean builds, I see:

FWIW, I'm using egui/eframe to write an (admittedly terrible) evolve clone just to play with rust/learn the lib, and it's been a breeze so far. The eframe template (https://github.com/emilk/eframe_template) seems to have a straightforward build to deploy on web, but I haven't run through it yet.

eframe. The only one that doesn't suck.

Nope- I've only followed the steps on the GitHub repo here https://github.com/emilk/eframe_template/ and it never mentioned anything about that

I've found egui pretty easy for that. I cloned this template, coded the app while running it locally to check (just standard cargo build), and then once it was done used the scripts to compile it to wasm and then put it up on github.io.

eframe offers a way to run egui as a native app, or as a web app. it's not just for demos – if you want to create a native app, eframe is the way to go! (you can use this template)

egui::CentralPanel::default().show(ctx, |ui| { // The central panel the region left after adding TopPanel's and SidePanel's ui.heading("eframe template"); ui.hyperlink("https://github.com/emilk/eframe_template"); ui.add(egui::github_link_file!( "https://github.com/emilk/eframe_template/blob/master/", "Source code." )); let response = ui.add(Label::new("Test Context Menu").sense(Sense::click())); response.context_menu(|ui| { if ui.button("Open").clicked() { ui.close_menu(); } ui.separator(); if ui.button("Cancel").clicked() { ui.close_menu(); } }); egui::warn_if_debug_build(ui); });

Microsoft is using React Native for Windows [0] for their Office applications [1]. As a fan of RN this would be the first avenue I’d explore if I had to develop something for Windows.

There's also MAUI (.NET) and React Native desktop.

Sometimes yeah they can become a real pain in the a$$. With RN you can make good looking and dynamic layouts with minimum effort. On the other hand when trying to implement logic my main and continuous issues I am facing is with the async parts . Apart from I am all in for RN . I am going to give it a try for a windows app with https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows .And if it works fine (which means you get your self away from C#) it will be a really powerful tool for me .

at Microsoft, it's used a lot for brownfield scenarios, similar to react-native-windows: https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows

you sound more like a zealot than someone trying to make a point. you can deploy to desktop with react native and have been able to for years now, courtesy of Microsoft: https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/
